Question

read the excerpt from president woodrow wilsons speech, \war message to congress.\
neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people.
which best explains president wilsons use of the word \autocratic\?
○ he is saying the united states needs to operate alone.
○ he is discussing the free will of the united states.
○ he is speaking of acting independently.
○ he is emphasizing the enemys tyranny.

Explanation:

The word "autocratic" means a form of government where one person has absolute power. In the context of the speech, President Wilson is referring to governments that are a menace to peace and freedom. Tyranny also implies oppressive and absolute rule. So, using "autocratic" here emphasizes the enemy's (the government he is referring to) tyrannical nature. The other options do not relate to the meaning of "autocratic" which is about a type of (oppressive) government rule.

Answer:

He is emphasizing the enemy's tyranny.
